My experience is that it depends on the state of life of both parties. I had a serious BF who was 18 when I was in my late 30s. It lasted only over a year. The main problem was he was still a student and could not understand the responsibilities of a working adult. My present BF of 6 years already had working experience when we met (he was in his mid-20s) In many ways we are now considered "equals", though initially he depended much more on me for advice on worldly matters.
